In this episode of Healthy Team, Healthy Business, we speak with Michael Scarpati, co-founder of RetireUS, to talk about the dirty truth behind the financial services industry — and what you can do about it.

✅ Discover the new subscription-based model bringing fiduciary guidance to small investors.
